Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Jets. For now, C+.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Jets spent the 145th overall pick on Jackson Hawes, a name the board had a full 109 spots lower. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 7th overall pick they get a red-zone target to build around, reach and all.
Pick42 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams in pick 42 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 9 with a little surplus value in Jayden Higgins. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110 Rnd4 Ajani Cornelius
They talked themselves into Ajani Cornelius at No. 110, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes in the 145th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick186 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Good price on Jay Higgins in slot 207, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
